Great response to our solar initiatives. Thank you to all who have participated.

I am posting some of the outstanding responses to our Solar Initiatives.  I am working hard to bring Solar to Palmetto Bay, including as a "Green Corridor Advisor".  

Spoiler alert - you don't have to read all the way down to see the success to date:

The final numbers for the entire year (for the entire Co-op, not exclusive to Palmetto Bay) are: 

968 leads

604 sign-ups to participate in co-ops

94 contracts and counting 

$2,129,613 spent on installs and counting

40,108,500 pounds of carbon offset over the lifetime of these systems

I have sponsored many green initiatives. Under my leadership, Palmetto Bay is currently one of ten (10) Miami-Dade County municipalities that have waived all or at least 75% of permitting fees for solar panels: Town of Cutler Bay, Coral Gables, Surfside, Miami Beach, City of Miami, Miami Shores, Miami Springs, Doral, Palmetto Bay and South Miami.

Thank you Jody for your hard work and the sunshine that you spread.  Click the link to view the prior article of April 12, 2018, Solar United Neighbors - time remains to join and save -
